>>>>>>>I've put a command button in a grid column however it appears quite small. The grid column has been resized to that it is relatively large and I need the button to have the same height and width. Can this be done in the designer or must I use only code. I'm sure I'm missing something simple here.

>>>Sparse is set to .F. I'm in the form designer and even when I remove the text1 textbox and then drop on the command button, it is this tiny thing not filling the column dimensions. The buttons height and width properties are read only so I cannot change them in the designer.

makes sense. also, the 'button' you see when designing the form is just telling you what control is active in that column. the height and width are read only because vfp sizes the button to fit the size of the column (and row). when you run it, it will look right and fill the desired area...

Dave,

Now here's a good one. I'd like the captions on these buttons to be dynamic, to reflect some value in a table. Without a .ControlSource property, I've not been able to do this. Any ideas?
